Granit Xhaka could quite conceivably consider himself one of the most polarising players in Arsenal's recent history.

The Switzerland international has been an inconsistent performer for the Gunners since arriving from Bundesliga side Borussia Monchengladbach and has been the subject of intense criticism from certain sections of the Emirates faithful.

Reports in recent weeks had suggested Italian giants Inter were very much interested in making a move for the midfielder and now, according to the Daily Mirror, Atletico Madrid have seemingly joined the race too.

The report claims Diego Simeone's side are eyeing the 26-year-old as a potential replacement for Manchester City-bound Rodri.

After hearing the links, many Gunners fans took to Twitter to reveal their thoughts on seeing the Swiss central midfielder leave this summer.

A lot of supporters of the north London side seemed delighted with the news Xhaka could be on his way out of the Emirates and could scarcely believe their luck.

A few however seemed to point out the irony in their fellow Arsenal fans suggesting Xhaka wasn't good enough and yet seeing the likes of Inter and Atletico register their interest in the midfielder.
